Week of Jan. 31, 2011

We can't believe it is almost February! As of Friday, we have been in school for 93 days. The kids have been counting down to the 100th day at school for a while now and now it is getting close.
This week we will be focusing on the following skills:
Math: We will be finishing up our money unit this week by reviewing using centers. Our end of unit test will be on Friday.

Science: We will begin a new science unit this week. For the next few weeks we will be learning about types of energy.

Reading: We are focusing on vowel digraphs this week during reading. We will practice writing words and reading words containing digraphs.

Language Arts: We are continuing our persuasive unit this week. We will continue to practice forming opinions and developing reasons. We are also learning about homophones and abbreviations.
